SAN DIEGO — It’s that bittersweet time of year again where we lose an hour of sleep, but the sun stays up for longer.
Daylight Saving Time returns early Sunday Morning. The springing forward of the clock leaves many with sleep deprivation that is difficult to overcome. Sleep experts say the impact can last anywhere from one to seven days.
Experts urge people to start preparing for the change a few days ahead of time by going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier. Taking melatonin around 8 p.m. or so and reducing screen time at night, can help advance your sleep time so you can go to bed earlier and wake up earlier.
Sleep expert, Dr. Gary Levinson joined Morning Extra to give some tips and to quiz you on Daylight Saving Time!
